Mother of pearl, or nacre, is the iridescent inner layer of mollusk shells and is widely appreciated for its shimmering, multicolored surface. Jewelry boxes adorned with mother of pearl mosaic work combine artistry and natural beauty, creating elegant objects for storing precious items. The iridescence results from microscopic layers of aragonite platelets, reflecting light in a captivating way that changes with viewing angles.
